[W8MWA] Winter Weather Possible on Monday

[Jeffrey Fritz]

The Pittsburgh NWS has begun discussing the possibility of snowfall on
Monday, December 18. If the local snowfall actually occurs and accumulates
to three inches or greater, per our understanding with the NWS, we will
activate the SKYWARN Net on the W8MWA two meter repeater.

For those who are interested, the details as they are known at this time
follow below.

==========================================

The coastal low continues to deepen this morning. The low will continue its
track along the coast through tomorrow. The cold air arrives Monday with
rain changing to snow showers with probabilities increasing of at least 6
inches of snow across the higher terrain.

Right now, however, I'm not sure we'll be issuing Winter Weather Advisory
for the Morgantown area. Typically those go up when we have confidence in
3-5 inch accumulations. In this case though, the snow showers/squalls will
likely be more discontinuous in nature, and the areas with greatest impacts
will be tough to pinpoint more than a few hours in advance. I think the
most likely way we will handle things is with Special Weather Statements
when things get cranking, and potentially Snow Squall Warnings for the
heaviest/most impactful snow bands.

We'll assess newer data today and possibly changes those headlines into a
warning and/or advisory this afternoon. Otherwise, enjoy the wet Sunday!
